title: Poly(vinyl)chloride supported palladium nanoparticles: catalyst for rapid hydrogenation reactions.
abstract: Palladium nanoparticles supported over poly(vinyl)chloride matrix (PVC-Pd(0)) are prepared through an efficient and inexpensive protocol. The catalyst has been characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM and its utility for the reduction of a range of functional groups as well as for the removal of some common protecting groups employed in peptide chemistry is demonstrated.
